Today, it has over 600 members, employs more than 1,700 people, and produces over 1 million chickens weekly. The cooperative's products are sold at 8,000 points of sale, and it operates a large-scale production facility with significant infrastructure, including a hatchery, feed plant, and slaughterhouse.
